Hello Gerhard, lovely sunset. Are you using a dictionary as a new approach to search for animals? :-)

I love the orange (more orange!) colours and the rays coming forward through the clouds. The composition is very good with a good balance between land and sky. Great shot.

Hello Gerhard

Lovely sunset. The reflection of the sun on the clouds has given them a silver lining. I love the dark line effect of the rays as they reach out. Good luck in your quest. Stunning work. Thanks.

Very nice sunset Gerhard,
The deep colours are very warm. The reflection onthe water and the rays through the top of the cloud are a nice touch.

Ongelooflik! Dit is 'n baie mooi foto. Jy is bevoorreg om net 35km van Willem Pretorius af te bly. Wens dit was ek.

Brilliant sunset Gerhard! Dramatic impact with the solid band of yellow coming across the water very striking...Very well composed, with superb colors..I enjoyed your note and your "home away from home" description sure makes me want to stop by for a visit! I'll be on the next flight ;-)) Very well done!

Go Bokke. Nice one Gerhard, if only our Bokke could score points the way you do. Lovely image, laat'n mens verlang. My Dad's brother used to work in Virginia when I was a kid and we often used to go and visit him and visit this Park. I have fond memories of good times and great experiences. I find quality sunsets like this harder to achieve with digital than with film but you are getting it spot on. Lekker naweek, Rob.

Very beautiful and dramatic picture Gerhard. the sun rays are really adding a nice effect together with the warm orange colours. The dramatic dark clouds in the left of the picture are contributing nicely. The composition with the little foreground and the low horizon is perfect.

All over a very pleasant picture to look at - would be great as a poster on a wall.

Very nice capture Gerhard, composition is perfect but colours look a little to rich for my liking. It looks like a red filter was used over whole frame although I know this was not the case. Having said that I'm awarding this 7/10 its very nice.

BTW I find your text a little distracting. I don't like the middle placement and I would change at least two texts to light gray. Il say no more on this matter as I know its a personal thing.
